Did you know that today is the Winter Solstice? In the Northern Hemisphere, this day has the shortest period of daylight and the longest period of darkness in the year.

After today, you may notice the days gradually get longer as we head toward Spring.

Yay, for more sunlight and the countdown to warmer weather.

Even so, it will still be quite cold for the foreseeable future, at least where I'm from, and the wind chill can make for long days that need to be filled with things to entertain your little ones where you're indoors for the most part.

If you're looking for ways to keep your twins busy indoors during the chilly winter months, here are some things that will help them burn off energy while having fun and working on furthering their fine motor and development skills.
